Artist Profile

A Scottish artist based in East Ayrshire, I’m inspired by the ever changing
countryside and it’s inhabitants. Almost every morning you’ll find me walking
the dogs and soaking up the atmosphere around me. Big skies, sweeping fields of
corn, the way the light hits a corner of wild flowers. And the animals, horses,
dogs, cattle sheep all with their own personalities have found their way to my
easel. The glint of an eye, a soft nose begging to be stroked, muscle tone and
the way light plays with the texture of their coats, from smooth and silky to
curly wurly.I’ve been a full time artist since 1996, after spending twenty something
years in the design studio of BMK. I’ve been lucky to have exhibited
successfully in many Scottish galleries. Numerous commissions have also come my
way painting many horses and dogs, including some well known racehorses.I have exhibited in many one man and group exhibitions including:- The Dick
Institute, The Glasgow Vennel, Maclaurin Galleries, Rozelle House, Pitclochry
Festival Theatre, The Atholl Gallery, Equus Gallery, Newmarket, Alaistair
Anderson Gallery, Fraoch Fine Arts, The Framework Gallery, Scotlandart.com, The
One Off Gallery, The Annan Gallery, The Aberfeldy Gallery, The Red Rag Gallery,
The Waverly Gallery, The Torrance Gallery, The Jerdan Gallery, Southside Art and
The Gatehouse Gallery. My work can be found in private collections throughout
the UK and in Northern Ireland, USA, Mexico, Canada, Hong Kong, Australia, New
Zealand and Europe. I work mainly in Acrylics, Oils and Mixed Media.
